This is only 12% cheaper than a new card. It’s currently selling for 1,296 on amazon, not including any sales.

Before I list my specs let me make a few points. I strongly suggest building a new PC with the sole intention of it being a VR / gaming only machine. This means no web surfing, no downloading of bit torrent, no you tube, no pron, and so forth. The only time your VR machine is to go online is for driver, bios, and software updates. I know this sounds hardcore, however you want you computer as " streamlined " as possible with out any crap running in the background eating up resources and hogging bandwidth. It also allows you to have a baseline reading for your computer, which will allow you to quickly " feel out " any performance changes. Trust me its worth it.

Of course the video card will be your main focus, but dont skimp on the motherboard and memory as they play an important part in the equation. Surprisingly, I dont believe you need to get the latest and greatest processor, as in my experience and tests, the load on the CPU isnt that heavy. I only run a stock ( not overclocked ) Ryzen 1700x and I never even get close to maxing it out. So you will be able to save money there.

Dont get hung up on the equipment to much though, because there are alot more things involved in getting a " magical " VR experience then that. Thats why always chuckle when I see people complain that they have a 2080ti and a the latest i7, but still dont get the result they think they should.

In my opinion, VR / AR will change the world, just like the home PC, the internet, and cellphones. Its up to each of us whether we want to be on the forefront of this revolution, or spend our money on other things. Now for the specs:

I know this card might to be to expensive for many people, however, its the best one on the market in my opinion. Having said that, I was getting excellent results with my previous Zotac 1080ti mini blower. Although if you have the money, get this beauty. Its amazing.

Once again pricey, but worth it. It is also future proof, as the speeds its capable of handling are faster then my current motherboard can handle.

Nah in January this card was 1800$

Amazon was also the only place that had the card in stock. B&H Photo had it for 1400$ at the time but wouldn't reveal the restock date.

I did a lot of searching at the time for this card. Just so I could look at it on a vertical mount.

I went with the 2080ti Gigabyte Aorus though. Since I had ordered the motherboard and just didn't want to wait anymore.

I am working on a list for you. I recommend two of these using NVlink.

Hope you like it, this will have much RGB if that is something you like.


Don't forget to buy an NVlink bridge https://www.zotac.com/us/product/accessories/zotac-gaming-nvlink-bridge-4-slot

Amazon has a sale on the card right now:

https://www.amazon.com/ZOTAC-Graphics-IceStorm-Overclock-ZT-T20810B-10P/dp/B07KB86GYZ/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?keywords=amp+extreme+2080ti&qid=1568001760&s=gateway&sprefix=amp+extreme&sr=8-1

Well, I'm not an eBay expert. But I reckon that the seller here uses the name zotacusa to come off as legit to people who don't know any better. Thats not to say the seller is providing bad products, judging from his mostly positive feedback it seems they provide good products. But I'm inclined to agree with the rep you spoke with. This seller isn't affiliated with ZOTAC. He/she is an independent seller flipping some ZOTAC products that he/she has.

If ZOTAC had an eBay presence, I don't think they'd have JUST created a profile back in January 2019. Check the profile, it was recently made. I suspect a legit ZOTAC profile would be much older than that.

Another small thing to pay attention to for future reference. ZOTAC writes their name out in all caps in any of their media.

Example:

https://www.amazon.com/ZOTAC-Graphics-IceStorm-Overclock-ZT-T20810B-10P/dp/B07KB86GYZ/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=zotac+2080+ti+amp+extreme&qid=1568902544&s=electronics&sr=1-1

This eBay listing was written all lower case letters. I bought my ZOTAC products from amazon where they are listed as ZOTAC. Not ZOTACUSA or ZOTACNY or anything like that.

Bottom line is this is not ZOTACs fault in any way. Tho I can understand why you might be upset.
